I understand the noob friendly approach of IPL and I like them for that. As was said on State of the Game it's important to bring new people onboard. And I think IPL is taking the right approach to accomplish that goal. They still should use two commentators in my opinion which I think most people prefer (I could be wrong). The NASL on the other hand does not take that noob friendly approach, and that is what I prefer to see. For now they have the better players (which might be the most important thing) and commentators whose style just suits me better. NASL might be harder to watch for new viewers, but I think that is a good thing. Imagine watching a soccer tournament where the commentator explains the rules every single game. It would be soooooo annoying. So I think for experienced viewers the NASL for now is better. Yes they have audio problems and stuff, but that are problems that are clearly defined and can (and I think will) definately will be solved. IPL and NASL in my eyes don't totally overlap in what they are trying to do or which type of viewer they are trying to reach. Grossly oversimplified, IPL is more for noobs, NASL more for the experienced viewer, but everyone can watch and enjoy both. So saying one in general is better than the other is unfair in my opinion. Some prefer NASL, some prefer IPL and that is as it should be. I didn't say much about stream quality because in my opinion that is the least important criteria. Well as long as both streams are above a certain standard. In the end the quality and substance of what is shown on that stream is the deciding factor. | ||

The only thing i would like is perhaps dual commentaries, would make it pretty much perfect. Just to reiterate, dual same-room commentators is definitely a very high priority for Season 2, especially when appealing to the Teamliquid demographic. | ||

Gotta love TB though. Never have understood the hate for the casters on youtube. Also like the screen they show at the end of each game. | ||

Clicked on a match: VOD player loaded Clicked on HD: VOD player loaded some website inside the VOD player with another VOD player inside it (with another ad) Watched game 1: VOD player sat there spinning and I had no idea how to get to game 2. | ||

Two commentators are better than 1, but seeing as this will be put on priority I'm sure the IGN league will grow to become even better Can you explain a bit what you mean by "too amateurish"? The stream / audio problems? Because in everything else I think the NASL is very professional. | ||

Clicked on a match: VOD player loaded Clicked on HD: VOD player loaded some website inside the VOD player with another VOD player inside it (with another ad) Watched game 1: VOD player sat there spinning and I had no idea how to get to game 2. Judging by comments in the LR thread, no, we're not the only ones. They're really frustrating to navigate. Only way I could get to work was to 1. http://www.ign.com/ipl/starcraft2/tournaments/best-of-the-west, and click on desired match 2. Open game one 3. Turn on HD 4. Game 2 should show up in the related videos section of the new page that pops up. | ||

IGN have said Season 1 should be viewed as their Clash of the Titans, a warmup and opportunity to test concepts for Season 2. IPL is not a long tournament and work on Season 2 has already begun. | ||

It is not as if it was not done, I think you just wanted more than was given. Which is cool, that's totally doable and there's nothing stopping us doing more research and providing more colour if that's what people want. It was there though, just perhaps not enough of it. Hey Mate, you did an excellent job on the Vods I've heard. You and the whole production crew should be proud of what you've produced | ||
